Stina's Cellars is family owned and operated by myself (Perry), Penny, and Ethan Preston along with a lot of help from family and friends. Penny and I first met in elementary school near Prosser Washington in 1971. My father was a local physician and Penny's was a farmer growing grapes for a local juice co-op. After many life experiences, we renewed our friendship in 1996 while enjoying a bottle of Barolo with dinner. Dinner went REALLY well. Later that year, Penny attempted to make fortified blackberry wine resulting in something I thought was indescribably undrinkable. Offended, she issued me a challenge to do better which resulted in my porch production of 4 cases of Merlot and a 2nd place ribbon in the amateur competition at the Puyallup Fair. Winemaking quickly became a huge hobby and Penny, not quite over losing the challenge, relegated my operation to the garage. I continued to enter wines in the Fair for several more years, winning numerous awards. Many wine production experiences later, we found a small facility near our home and opened for sales in June of 2006 producing wines from grapes grown in eastern & western Washington. We have increased production over the last few years while keeping our focus on producing small lots of high quality wine at affordable prices.
